Hello,
has someone ever tried to access Apple Notes?
Have found no threads for this topic searching the forum…
I do not know if it is even possible to get a list of all notes from Apple’s Notes app.
Maybe read notes content, or even edit it…
Using AppleScript might be a solution?!
Maybe someone has a hint - that would be great!
Have a nice day,
Olaf
If I remember correctly, Apple Notes used to be a SQLite database.
see
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/NotesV6.storedata
(that is the path or me and yours may be different)
…thank you very much, Christian!
Found some interesting information:

The notes database seems to be located at: /private/var/mobile/Library/Notes/notes.sqlite
$ sqlite3 notes.sqlite
SQLite version 3.4.0
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> select ZCREATIONDATE, ZTITLE, ZSUMMARY, ZCONTENT
...> from ZNOTE, ZNOTEBODY where ZNOTEBODY.Z_PK= ZNOTE.rowid;
Hope this still works…
Thx again!
Have a nice day,
Olaf
Be warned: Apple’s Photos uses an encrypted SQLite database, so Notes may end up using one in the future.
And they use different formats. I developed it for a client on one Mac with v2 just to discover other Mac had v4.
Not the same schemes.

Gone are the days where iPhoto/Aperture and such were open to third party developers, now they slammed the door shut in our faces.
